Description:

This project focuses on the characterization of mmWave (5G) frequencies, a wireless communication technology that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves from 28 to 170 GHz, which are responsible for transmitting information on variables such as temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, soil moisture, water quality, among others, to make decisions regarding agricultural production.

Its objective is to provide a comprehensive characterization of wireless channels that are essential for the connectivity of smart agricultural systems in olive groves, vineyards, and citrus orchards, for the correct remote monitoring of crops, reducing retransmissions, energy consumption and cost, which creates an optimal environment for precision agriculture.
